Recreational Rescue Diver Courses
The term "Rescue Diver" in all recreational diving training agencies mainly means self rescue or buddy rescue under the normal diving conditions that someone would dive, how to avoid accidents by recognizing panicked divers and equipment failures and in case of an accident, basic first aid and how to manage a scene until the professionals arrive. Although these are good courses for improving someone’s diving skills and further progressing in diving education they are not professional courses. However many professional courses would expect a participant to have progressed to that level in the recreational diving before becoming a professional.

Famous quotes containing the words rescue and/or courses:
“In the event of an oxygen shortage on airplanes, mothers of young children are always reminded to put on their own oxygen mask first, to better assist the children with theirs. The same tactic is necessary on terra firma. There’s no way of sustaining our children if we don’t first rescue ourselves. I don’t call that selfish behavior. I call it love.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
“All the courses of my life do show
I am not in the roll of common men.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
